contrary, have very trying climate to

while consuming an enormous quantity
of iced water, candies and novels. The

WHEN LOVE GROWS.CO
What to Do With the Misplaced Tokens of At
fectionate Regard.
The Chicago Journal

1t is surprising how practical an en-
thtsiastic lover may become under
changed circumstances. For instance, a
correspondent writes to know if lady
should return presents of jewelry after
an engagement to be married is broken
If she is not impelled by etiquette to re-
turn the gifts, he desires to find out
whether they cannot be recovered BY
process of law. He says that the lady
and gentleman in question have since
married other persons, and he implies
that he don't like TO see another mans
wife wearing his jewelry. AS to the
point of etiquette involved, young man
who has had great deal of experience
IN such matters says that gifts of jeweIry
should always be returned, as this Is the
prevailing custom in polite society and
is q rule of conduct based on natural
good taste and delicacy. He added with
a smile:
at is also a good custom from an
economic point of view, for it has en-
abled me to use one set of jewelry on
three separate occasions, and if my
practical little scheme is not detected, /
have no doubt the same jewelry will final
ly become the property OF the lady that
lead to the altar, provided can get one
who will stick long enough to such an un-
sentimental fellow"
young lady when questioned On the
subject, said she did not think girls
ought to accept gifts of jewelry from the
men they are going to marry, making
exceptions, of course, as to the wedding
ring and wedding presents. She thought
that when gifts of iewelry are accepted,
however, they should always be returned
if the engagement is broken. But she
knew Of some nice girls, who, not having
a large supply of jewelry, had kept pres
ents after the engagement was at an end.
She had heard Of q few cases in which
the circumstances were such as to make
the keeping of the gifts pleasure to
both persons. A well-known lawyer said
of the legal aspect of the question that
he could not recollect having read of
such case in the courts. Gifts are alb
solute transfers of personal property,
and unless they are conditional he did
not see how they could be recovered by
law. If given conditionally suit for
breach of contract might be entered. So
far as he could see, the return of the
gifts rested entirely with the lady. An
other lawyer, who is bachelor, evaded
an opinion on the question by the broad
assertion that all young men who are
thinking of getting married ought to
follow the Iaconic advice Of Punch, which
was-"Don't."

were In smooth water, and were brought

ed away few peces to get better look
at something forward. When returning,
he added, ''Sir, you may go through the
length and breadth of this world, but for
hardness and skill you will not beat the
Norwegian pilot" This warm encomium
recalled a Renaissance Of my youth,
which at the time made q vivid impress
sion upon me, and which, though it has
absolutely nothing 10 do with the present
visit to Sweden, cannot refrain men
tioning. Imagine stormy winters day,
with pale blue sky, a dark blue turbul-
ent sea, and a ship with cIose-reefed
topsails. The gale blowing in the rigging,
ballooning the narrow strips of canvass
and rap-rapping the running gear against
the spars with wearisome monotony.
Under our lee, es far as the eye could
reach, stretched the iron-bound coast of
old Norway, where the waves, leaping un-
ceasingly against the black rocks, hurled
jets of white foam high into the air.
From out among these granite powders

only spritsail with red stripe down
the middle; but when it draws nearer we
can see that the boat is covered with
deck, is broad of beam, clinkler-built, and
pointed fore and aft-shaped, in fact,
like gull. There are but two hands on
board. The pilot yellow-bearded, broad
shouldered, with sou'wester on his
head-stands by the mast; his son,
mere lad, has hold Of the tiller. Our
ship has been kept close hauled, laboring
heavily in the rough sea, and presently
the boat is to wirdward a short distance

caught by the pilot, who ties it round his
waist, and the boat again sheers OF.
There is moments sus pense; big wave
approaches; as it rises it lifts the small
craft on its crest to level with our rig
ging; IN that instant the pilot jumps, and
lands safely in our mizen shrouds. The
lad meanwhile has promptly luffed, and

now heayed aloft, he makes way sturdily
towards shore; but on board the frigate

English and American Girls

Our English girls, no doubt, bear off
the palm among the nations of the world,
both for looks, freshness and energy;
and, taken as a whole, they show more
beauty than any other country in the
world-America included. The Ameri-
cans, of course, send over to London
many we're pretty women; but it is the
pick of their market, and, judging from
what man sees in England, he cannot
but feel somewhat disappointed in Ameri-
ca at not finding their standard of beauty,
as whole. as high as the specimens in
this country would lead him to expect. 1t
is not only noticeable among the upper
Glasses, but it is apparent to one walking

Milwaukee Business Men IndOrse and Anarch-

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 14.-On change the
announcement of the supreme courts de-
cision was received with loud expressions
of satisfaction. Among the knights of
Labor officials, however, and all those in
terested in the labor movement, the opin-
ion is universal that the sentence should
be committed to life imprisonment.
Robert Schilling the liberal anarchist,
says: "My opinion is that it is an out
geto hang these men. They should be
sent to the insane asylum where they be-
long"
The Milwaukee Socialist Section will
hold a meeting to express their sympathy
with the condemned men, and will send
one of their number to visit them before
the day of execution.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, Sept. 14.-Judge MuIkey
has filed the following opinion: as it is
not my intention to file a separate opin-
ion as should have done had my health
permitted, I prefer TO avail myself of
the occasion to say from the bench that 1
concur Ill the conclusion reached,
and also in the general view presented in
the opinion filed. do not consider that
the record is free from error, for do
not think it is. ] am neverthe-
less of the opinion that none of the
errors complained of are of so serious
character as to require a reversal of the
Judgment. In view of the number of
defendants on trial, the length of time it
was in progress, the vast amount of testi-
mony offered and passed upon by the
court and the almost numberless rulings
the court was required to make, the won
der with me is that errors were not
more numerous and more serious
than they were. In short, after
having carefully examined the records
and given all the questions arising upon
it my very best thoUghts, with an earnest
and conscientious desire to faithfully
discharge my whole duty am fully sat
isfied that the conclusion reached indi-
Gates the law does simple Justice between
the prisoners and the state and that it is
fully warranted by the law and the evil
dence.

Black Will Make an Effort to Carry the
Case Up.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-When a reporter
announced the decision to Capt. Black
defender of the anarchists, he said:
The only remaining course for us to
pursue, is to take the case to the United
States supreme court. I shall immedi-
ately go before the supreme court at OF
tawa and ask for a reasonable time, to
secure certified transcript of the rec
ord for presentation to the supreme
court at Washington. Such proceedings
are rare, but haven't any doubt of the
courts decision on that point. Lawyers
generally believe that there is scarcely
possibility of the anarchists being able
to get their case before the federal su-
preme court on constitutional grounds
their last and only hope except commute
tion of sentence which the governor will
not dare to order.

it as did his doomed companions, and all
made ostentatious efforts at GOODNESS and
bravado. The wives and friends of the
condemned men, spent the morning with
them in the jail, but before the news was
received, they had been excluded, and the
prisoners locked up. The reporters had
also been vigorously shut out from the
cells,
Sheriff Matson had remained away
from the jail. By his orders during the
night, the guards had all been doubled.
Including the court bailiffs, there were
twenty of the sheriff's men on duty, ten
turkeys and guards that are on regular
duty at the jail, and six policemen who
patrolled the alleys on the out side. Cap
Setback brought with him four detectives
this morning, who were stationed in the
jail courts. Upon Capt. Setback the pro-
lection Of the Jail devolves. He profes-
ses to feel no uneasiness from any at
tempts to break into the jail and says he
has taken every precaution.
The excitement about the jail soon be-
came intense, but the police were mas
tiers Of the situation.
Anarchists Allowed Exercise and Concourse
With Friends-A Blast From the Arbeiter
Zeitung.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Late this afternoon
the condemned anarchists were allowed
to take exercise in the covered jail court
and to speok to their friends who were
freely admitted. The prisoners had
agreed among themselves to talk
to no one for publication, and
all attempts to interview them
were resotulely resisted. At all the
police stations throughout the city,
a full force of reserves were on duty
and were given to understand that they
would be kept in the barrack until after
the execution. At intervals the men were
made to fall in and drill with rifles. The
Arbaiter Zeitung, of which Spies was the
editor, in announcing the decision says
The supreme court in Ottawa, the legal
instrument of capitalistic reign has
affirmed the outrageous verdict
which decided that seven of our
best comrades shall suffer the death of
martyrs for the cause of the laboripg
people, and that eight shall serve 10
year sentence in the penitentiary. We
are, however, the adherents of Spies and
his comrades, and we will not cry out for
revenge at any inopportune time, but we
will do everything that remains to be
done.

New York Anarchists Wild-Most Urges
Vengeance.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE news of the
affirmation by the supreme court of Illi-
nois of the decision of the lower court in
the condemned Chicago anarchist case,
caused great excitement among the New
York socialists and anarchists. Herr Most
was furious. His anarchist paper, Frsi-
heitl had just gone to press when the news
came. The forms were ordered from the
press. Most rolled up his sleeves and
proceeded to write an editorial addressed
''tO the wOrkmen of all countries" The
editorial was column and half long
and written in his characteristic and
violent style. He characterizes the
judges who made the decision as
infamous and bloodthirsty FOOLS" and
the jury as corrupt. November 18th
was the day set for the murder of those
''heroes." Capitalists wished to see blood
flow, to shoW the people that they were
law and could do as they pleased. Work
ingmen, says he will your peaceably al
low this to take placer" The cruel deed
of November II, could be prevented if
anarchists so wished. Workingmen must
show their military strength. An indig-
nation mass meeting must be held at
once and money raised to fight
the battle of justice and the salvation OF
martyrs. Most goes on to demand de-
cision in the case from the United States
supreme court and says that agitating
meetings should be held all over the
country until the court dare not declare
the law constitutional.
Editor Shevitch, of the Leader, the
recognized leader of the socialistic eIe-
ment in this city, fercely denounced the
affirmation of the verdict.

Pulrerizing Stones bY Air.

A new discovery in mechanics was in
vestigated recently at Montreal by Erastus
Wiman and party of New Workers, who
came there for this special object The
result accomplished by the discovery is
the pulverization or grinding of the
hardest substances by the action of air set
in motion resembling that of cyclone.
The air is confined in an iron chamber not
larger than an ordinary house furnace.
At test given in the paint factory of
McDougall, Logic & Co., where the ma
chine has been in operation for six months
past, nails, iron, Stag, and flint rock were
reduced to a powder, while the operation
was equally effective with phosphates,
mica, asbestos, rice hulls, and other pulpy
and soft substances.
The device is very inexpensive, and,
so far as the investigation showed, ac-
complishes results so important as to
point to a revolution in pulverizing and
grinding operations in numerous depart
ments of the trade-NeW York Sun.
